Bodies in the Wake
by Me lol
It's a hellish vibe.
It's a dark dimming-feeling.
Awaking in your stomach and feeding into you, whole.
I thought... I could lay inside of you.
I thought... I could make you warm.
But I hear no heartbeat.
I hear no thunder.
Nothing but the light, fading in you, taking you, draining you
And interchanging in you into... Death.
********Jérôme & Ashton's POV*******
All we have to do is get in-and-out unseen. Ashton never gives me too much information especially, when it's time-sensitive. However, I wouldn't be surprised if he had 70% of this mystery solved already. Only time will tell. Ashton is not one to gloat about things. He will show his hand only when he has the evidence.
Speeding down the streets of NYC in my black Mercedes Benz on a dark windy night. The skies were cloudy, the full moon glowed brightly in the skies. I felt an uneasy feeling in the depths of my stomach. What it fears, was I afraid of the unknown. With all the crazy mess happening in my life, I have not forgotten about Jessica. Each day past made her feel further away from me and fading the image of her. It was only a year ago since she disappeared. Since then my family has been doing all they care to work with the authorities to find her. I know that we are getting closer and closer to The Anonymous. But I feel like I'm getting further away from Jessica.
I was told to park a block away from the hospital, Ashton would be in the parking lot waiting for me. "What's the plan," I said wasting no time walking up to Ashton. He stood wearing a hoodie at the far corner. I felt like I was being set up. But I could be paranoid.
"Did you bring the Mask?"
"Yeah!" pulling it out of my hoodie.
"Alright only one of us can go."
"Why just one," I countered confused.
"Are you scared?" he mused on.
"Should I be?"
"No,"
"Let's play rock paper scissors?"
"Jérôme, we don't have time for this."
"It has to be you."I can not go because the medical receptionist saw my face."
"And how did you know this is the correct location?"
"I had a feeling, that's why I chose this hospital." "I was planning ahead just in case Unknown called."
"Smart. What do you need me to do?"
"We will communicate with these." He said taking the earpieces out his front pocket. His facial expression grew serious as his once light eyes darken. "You have to trust me. We have no room for mistakes because there're cameras everywhere. Keep the mask on at all times. I can't tell you everything once I have the information I will connect with you."
"Copy."
"The only thing we really have on our side is the night and nightshift.
I put the earpiece in my air **testing 1.2.3, 1.2.3 testing does it work?
"Yeah."
"Should we have code names?"
"Jérôme, we don't need code names." "This isn't GI JOE. None of this matters." Ashton voiced tiredly."
